Mass Effect 3 makers Bioware announced the release of a Mass Effect 3 Extended Cut. It will be out this summer, for free.

The downloadable pack will expand on the endings to Mass Effect 3, which worked many fans into outrage and blithering.

The press release says Mass Effect 3 launched to "universal acclaim," which was true until everybody got to the end.

The critics of Mass Effect 3's ending believe it was unsatisfying,
because both of its two finales left the Mass Effect universe in worse
shape than when players began the game. A third ending, which was more upbeat than allowing the Reapers to obliterate all sentient
life, proved difficult to find unless players had made certain choices
through Mass Effect 3 and Mass Effects 1 and 2.

The extended cut provides cut scenes and epilogues that will, the press release says, "give fans seeking further clarity to the ending of Mass Effect 3 and deeper insights into how their personal journey concludes."

In other words, they'll explain what the heck happened.

"We have reprioritized our post-launch development efforts to
provide the fans who want more closure with even more context and
clarity to the ending of the game, in a way that will feel more
personalized for each player," said executive producer Casey Hudson.

By "post-launch development efforts," I believe he meant that every time they think they're out, they get pulled back in.

I'm not sure "personalized for each player" is what everyone wants. An ending that isn't a major bummer, maybe.

BioWare co-founder Ray Muzyka said they are responding to "feedback from our most passionate fans."
